JOHN WASHINGTON HERRIOTT, OF HUBBELL, NEBRASKA,

CHURN.

SPEGZ IFIGA TION forming part of Letters Patent No. 416,610, dated December 3, 1889. I Application filed September 30, 1889. Serial No. 325,546. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, JOHN WASHINGTON HERRIOTT, a citi'ien of the United States, residing at Hubbell, in the county of Thayer and State of Nebraska, have invented certain new'and useful Improvements in Light-Running Butter-Makers; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and-use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of'this' specification.

This invention relates to churns, and aims to provide a dasher of novel construction and arrangement that will give a twofold motion and churning action to the cream, the one vertical and the other at right angles, or nearly so, to the vertical motion, thereby producing the butter in a comparatively short time.

The improvement consists in the novel construction and combination of the parts which will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed, and which are shown in the annexed drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of a churn embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical section showing the operation of the dasher. Fig. 3 is atop plan View of the dasher, showing the manner of connecting it with the churn. Fig, 4 is a rear view of the dasher.

The churn comprises the four sides A A, B and B, and the bottom 0. The bottom 0 is fitted at its edges in grooves a in the sides. The sides A and A are located between the sides B and B, and are held in place by the bolts D, which pass through the sides A and A and the sides B and B. Any shrinkage in the churn can be taken up by tightening the burrs d on the threaded ends of the bolts D.

The dasher-operating mechanism consists of the shaft E, which is journaled in the standard e, and the cross-bar e, that is supported at its ends on stardards c and the master-wheel F, journaled on arm f, projectends by a bar parallel with the bar K, and

the bars j of the grate or member J are parallel with the bar K, and are secured to arms j, extending from the said bar K. The dasher is hinged to the churn at or near the intersection of the two members, so that it can have a vibratory movement. The plate L, having sockets at its ends, is secured to the dasher, and corresponding plates M and N, secured to the churn and dasherrod, have sockets m and n, respectively. The pins 0 and 0' pass through the coincident sockets at the ends of the plates L, M, and N and form the pivotal connections between the dasher-churn and dasher-rod. By removing the pins 0 and O the dasher can be lifted out for purposes of cleaning and removing the butter.

I, claimi 1. The combination,with the churn, of the dasher composed of twomembers placed approximately at right angles to each other, and having a hinged connection with the churn about on the line of junction of the said two members, substantially as described.

2. The combination, with the churn, of the dasher composed of members which are placed approximately at right angles to each other, the bars of one member being at right angles to the axis of the dasher, and the bars of the other member being parallel with the said axis, the dasher having a hinge-connection with the churn about in line with the junction of the said two members, substantially as specified.

3. The hereinbefore-described churn, comprising the four sides A A B B, which are bolted together, the bottom, the dasher hinged tothe churn and composed of two members approximately at right angles to each other, the shaft having a crank, the dasher-rod between the crank and dasher and having a hinged connection With the dasher, and the master-Wheel in gear with the said shaft, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JOHN WASHINGTON HERRIOTT.
